Hinieni tells the story of Shulamit Izen who began ninth grade at a multi-denominational Jewish day school as an out lesbian. Shulamit’s efforts to organize a gay-straight alliance at the school expose the tensions between tradition and social change within the pluralistic philosophy of a Jewish school. What begins as one student’s mission engages an entire community in an open discussion concerning a culture of tolerance and inclusion.

A program of the Stuart S. Kurlander Program for Gay and Lesbian Outreach and Engagement 


Co-sponsored by Bet Mishpachah and Reel Affirmations 
Post-screening discussion: “Coming Out in the Jewish Community”
